A short YouTube video (Ramit Sethi) featuring a first-person confession about severe personal debt and two vehicle repossessions. The speaker says they entered a relationship already owing money, had student loans and very poor credit, and lost two cars—an Audi and a BMW—partly due to purchases made for status and partly because a partner stopped making payments; the speaker later received a repossession notice demanding payment.
I have a confession. Coming into the relationship, I came into it with a lot of debt. I had two vehicle repossessions. I had student loans. My credit was horrible. What happened in the past where you got all these cars repoed? What happened? Silly purchases for status. I had an Audi, and then I had bought a BMW for a previous relationship. Okay. You know, the relationship went under and the vehicle also seemed to have had gone under. Okay. Both vehicles ended up getting repossessed. As for the other one, the vehicle stayed paid with my partner at the time. She stopped paying the vehicle as well. And I got a notice in the mail one day saying, hey, the vehicle was repossessed. You owe X amount of dollars.
